Full description
This is a prospective observational study that consecutively samples eligible patients with a critical illness, requiring intensive care. This study will use two activity monitors (accelerometers) to measure physical activity and sedentary variables from patients recovering from a critical illness in a single tertiary hospital on three occasions during their acute hospital admission. Accelerometer derived measures will be obtained from continuous 24 hour monitoring periods once patients are sufficiently awake and attentive within the ICU, at ICU discharge and again at acute hospital discharge. Measurements of patients muscle strength and physical function will also be made at the time of accelerometry.
